[All Platforms][Other] 2-Factor Authentication

Spotify should, as a matter of good practice and safety, implement 2-step authentication.

 

Previously, Spotify enabled the option to log out other sessions other than the current session.

 

This would prevent hackers from stealing accounts, which would additionaly lead to less account hacks and less work for Spotify employees to assist in these cases.

Hi everyone, thanks for bringing us your feedback in the Spotify Idea Exchange. We’re ready to mark this idea as ‘Under Consideration’. 

 

We are currently investigating various solutions for account security for our users, e.g. 2-factor authentication. Any news regarding user-facing security updates will be posted to this thread as a status change.

9 years and 6 days later and still no 2FA? Good to know how Spotify values privacy and security of their customers.

 

It's 2024, security is kinda a big deal if you haven't noticed yet. Time to move somewhere else.

This needs to be implemented asap

We need this implemented. I feel like with it implemented they could lower some of the system flags which cause issues for people in rare cases.

I'm having an issue where I don't play music on my phone very often. So when I do The different IP is triggering a flag for suspicious activity, which then sends me a email to reset my password. Which I very much do not want or need to do.

Only if it's entirely optional. If I'm forced to use it to log in I'm gonna stop using Spotify.

Of course, this is always and should be always optional.

Six years later, and evidently an industry standard security is too difficult to implement, all the while unimportant changes like changing icons from hearts to pluses and moving the queue from its own view to a cramped side panel are prioritized. This is disappointing.

It's actually 11 years at this point, because there was an older issue from 2013 that was closed in favour of this one.

 

11 YEARS!?!
